In 2023, Amy Welborn traveled solo to southern Italy. All posts are available here.
I will say this: I certainly missed my usual traveling companions, but it’s also no lie to point out that accommodations for one are a lot cheaper than they are for accommodations for three – especially now, three adults. Everyone in the usual crew is low-maintenance, be assured, but I am especially low maintenance when it comes to places to lay my head at night. Price is the first consideration, then location, then just general vibe – gathered from reviews.
Every place I stayed during this trip was great, not one complaint.
So here we go:
Naples:
I looked at a lot of places here. Since I would be here for nine days, a hotel was out of the question. In the end, though, I made a choice that was a little different for me. I usually like to stay in apartments, even small studios because of the whole introvert thing, but this time I went with a spare room in another person’s apartment. The reason? I just had a sense that Naples, being big, busy and a total unknown to me, might be a place where I’d benefit from some advice and tips now and then from a source other than The Internet.
So this is where I ended up – and it was the right choice. Wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable host, the right balance of openness and respect for privacy, a good location near two Metro stations, and so on.
